NEW and interesting SEALED stuff you spotted on ebay post here! (part1)

I don't know about that. My FFVII reseal from kenjiasshole wasn't obvious and another forum member here got a resealed FF III from him that also looked very good. He is a professional at this.

The guy is VERY good at what he does. Adam I already told you this, but I bought a "factory sealed" FFII SNES from him...when I got it and looked at it, I did look legit on a quick glance. It had the vertical seam (although "off" looking - something about it was just odd) down the back, and the box itself looked new, and the flap on the left side (when looking at the back of the game) didn't appear to have been opened....but upon further inspection..NO VENT HOLES, and slight traces of marker to hide the white line that occurs when you open the flap.

he is VERY good at what he does. I'm glad he was taken down.

That really sucks, but great observations. I can see how most people would be fooled by this. He may be a professional at doing this, but he was careless and left behind all the necessary clues on ebay by using the same username to buy his supplies.

I would imagine after all that, he would be able to spot a complete reseal from a mint copy that he said he got!

Someone should msg tacogamer and ask him to look at the games a little closer...

I mean, the guy was an idiot, a complete idiot. Not only did he BUY HIS RE-SEALING MATERIALS UNDER THE SAME USER NAME, he didnt even research what these games are worth and was charging the most random prices!

And I will just add, I am lucky as hell that I got a refund

But it's unfortunate that not all buyers are as careful as we are and did our detective work.

I just thank my stars this forum even exists. Seriously, the average person 9like me about a year ago) has no idea what to truly look for in a lot of these cases. I'm lucky in that only one or two games I've bought are actual fakes, but it could have been rough. It seems like the problem gets worse with time as the market grows exponentially.

I would message tacogamer about this but I feel he would just be troubled by it all....

He thinks it's sealed and that he got true steals, ignorance is bliss I guess

But, this dude, dvd galaxy, he strikes again. I expect to see this for sale from him for 150$ BIN soon.

I don't see how he will make money on it. That is about the going price for that game. It was listed properly too (he usually tries to find poorly listed items to resell). As an aside, I have a copy of this game I will be selling as well...I think...

All I have to say is that I CALLED it!

Sure but it won't sell. He will keep dropping the price on it until it comes down to $50 or so. That is what he does.

he will have lost money then through all the insertion fees if he lists it enough times for it to go to 50$

I have bought from him many times and all his games are mint. How does he get so lucky and find so many mint games from auctions with no pictures?

i bought a game from dvd galaxy once and it was in dreadful condition, although he did give me a partial refund due to it.

He's a great seller. But I am truly envious of how lucky he is!

The stuff I bought from him are mostly NES games, he found a warehouse somewhere with NOS NES games as he told me that he needs to drive to the warehouse every now and then to restock.

Oh? He told me he get's games brought in from "different" sources like garage sales etc, and that he stores them in his garage, where he admits the damage to my game probably occured.

Either way, some of the deals he finds are just insane. He won a sealed starfox for 2$!

i doubt that, as he bought it for $46 himself

Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. Just because he bought it for $46 doesn't mean he can sell it for a lot more. It's not worth more than $50. He has sold plenty of games for break-even or sometimes losses.

it sems that kenjikazama-2486 is back in commission, and they got rid of all those negs that some guy blasted him with...damn. Wonder why eBay is letting him keep on conning people...

I'm just thanking God that I got all my money back, even the shipping costs. Guess it doesn't hurt that I gave him the old "I'm from New York bitch, be scared of me" routine

DO NOT BUY THIS GUY'S SHIT PEOPLE - NO MATTER HOW "AUTHENTIC" IT MAY LOOK, IT'S ALL FAKE

Yeah I guess we can expect to see a "factory sealed" version of this soon:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150269730842

Along with Mario World, DKC 3 and the others he bought from this guy. He is very careful to buy only very mint looking boxes so it will be easy to fool suckers on ebay. What a BASTARD!!!

the left lower front corner of that CT is actually damaged, so it will be quite easy to spot, he'll probably try to cover it with a black marker or something. notice how he lists most of his stuff in private auctions, so that its impossible to view the items sold on his feedback list

sealed Harvest Moon for SNES, I think this one can be hard to find:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260268148473

i saw one sealed HM for last months. It was very badly listed and obscure. Sold for about 350$ by direct offer. The seller capitulated.

reported him.. i'm tired of this.
